Portret van Jacob Cats 1847 - 1883

This lithograph, titled "Portret van Jacob Cats," is a portrait of the Dutch poet and statesman Jacob Cats, created by the Dutch artist Hendrik Wilhelmus Last between 1847 and 1883. The artwork depicts Cats in a somber and contemplative mood, his gaze directed slightly downwards. The black and white tones of the lithograph enhance the sense of realism and create a mood of seriousness. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Last's skill in capturing likeness and portraying character through the medium of lithography.
